        Council 47 LAX Update – Travel Open Enrollment

        March 1, 2026 07:00

        This message is for pre-merger Hawaiian Los Angeles Based Flight Attendants

        Travel Open Enrollment

        Aloha LAX,

        As the single Passenger Service System (PSS) approaches, Travel Open Enrollment will be commencing soon. Changes are coming to pass travel, so please take time to review what is ahead and make any necessary updates. We have provided a summary below but it is in your best interest to read the company’s detailed communication.

        If you have specific questions, please contact the People Resource Line Department. We always encourge you to cc your union leadership in all interactions with manegement (email below).

        The company is providing in-person assitance in Hawai’i during Travel Open Enrollment and your leadership has inquired and requested that the same support be offered to LAX and all stations on the Continental U.S.

        Mahalo,

        Josh, Paul and Beth
        lax@afahawaiian.org
        LAX Pulse Form


        📅 Key Dates to Know

        • March 3–24: Travel Open Enrollment
        • April 21–22: System cutover to single Passenger Service System
        • April 22: Begin booking in Fly
        • April 21–22: If possible, avoid travel during system transition

        **After April 22, ID90 listings for future flights will no longer be available and all bookings will move to Fly.


        What Open Enrollment Means For You

        During March 3–24, you may:

        • Update your Primary Traveler / Travel Companion
        • Remove parents and replace with Secondary Travelers (*new*)
        • Verify student status for eligible children
        • Enroll or review all travelers before the combined program goes live

        If student status is not verified, travelers will be removed on April 22.

        Your currently enrolled travelers will automatically transition into the combined program, but this is your opportunity to make changes.


        🔄 Booking Timeline Before Cutover

        • Through March 13: Book up to 30 days out in ID90
        • March 14–April 13: Book up to 7 days out
        • April 14–20: Book up to 1 day out
        • April 22 forward: Book in Fly

        If possible, avoid booking travel April 20–22 to ease the system transition.


        What Changes After Integration

        Once we reach PSS in April 2026:

        • Hawaiian employees move to the Alaska travel program platform (Fly)
        • Year of hire at Hawaiian and check-in time determines boarding priority (this has nothing to fo with the Seniorty Merger Integration List)
        • Travel privileges expand across AS, HA, and QX metal

        Until PSS, boarding processes and procedures remain separate depending on which carrier is operating the flight.


        Travel Programs Available After Integration

        In addition to standby travel, employees will have access to:

        • Confirmed Employee Travel at 20% discount (similar to K-fare)
        • Positive Space Travel credits (2 one-way per year) or Employee Choice Credits (20 per year)

        👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Traveler Categories at a Glance

        You may select:

        • One Primary Traveler (Spouse, Domestic Partner, or designated PT)
        • Eligible children and students
        • Up to two Parents or Secondary Travelers

        Imputed income rules apply to certain traveler categories.
